Students funded by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) rejoiced after the bank notification hit their phones.

In a TikTok video uploaded by @reabetswemalepe, as soon as they received the funds and were notified, the students left everything they were doing in their rooms and went outside to celebrate.

In the clip, the students go up and down the residence's corridors; some are in their pyjamas, while others were visibly sleeping or showering when they received the news. One student was wrapping a fleece blanket around her body.
